* Conclusion
My feel:
When I see TajMahal as a painting, I see with an awe in my eyes,
When I see TajMahal as a photograph, I feel as though I view Heaven…..
When I see TajMahal as a miniature, I long to hold that paradise….
When I see TajMahal in real, tears roll down my eyes……
No wonderTajMahal is undoubtedly my favourite tourist spot. I will never ever get bored to see that magnificent, glorious, marvelous, structure - an epitome of love and art eventhough I would haveseen it for n number of times.
Whichever story it tells, there is a certain vulnerability, a softness about TajMahal that always touches me. The white structure, actually nothing but a grave and yet so much more, stands unassumingly in spite of the yellowing pollution retaining a certain charm that takes my breath away.

...TajMahal - The Taj - is the "King Emperor" amongst the WorldWonders. The Taj is the final achievement and acme of the Mughal Art. It represents the most refined aesthetic values. It is a fantasy-like grandeur. It is the perfect culmination and artistic interplay of the architects' skill the jewellers' inspiration. The marble in-lay walls of the Taj are amongst the most outstanding examples of decorative workmanship. The elegant symmetry of its exterior and the aerial grace of its domes and minarets impress the beholder in a manner never to be forgotten. It stands out as one of the most priceless national monuments, of surpassing beauty and worth, a glorious tribute to man's achievement in Architecture and Engineering.
The Taj is threatened with deterioration and damage not only by the traditional causes of decay, but also by changing social and economic conditions which aggravate the situation with even more formidable phenomena of damage or destruction. A private sector preservation organization called "World Monuments Fund" (American Express Company) has published a list of 100 most endangered sites (1996) in the World. The environment of Agra is today beset with problems relating to the inadequacy of its urban infrastructure for transportation, water and electricity. Residential fuel...

...EVE PROJECT
NEW DELHI (AP) — Air pollution is turning the TajMahal, India's famed white-marble monument to love, a decidedly unromantic yellow. But as with many aging beauties, a therapeutic mud pack has been recommended to restore its natural allure.
A report put before India's Parliament on Monday said that despite efforts taken by the government to preserve the 17th-century edifice, pollution was taking its toll.
The coloring was blamed on high levels of "suspended particulate matter" — or tiny granules of dirt in the air — generally caused by burning fossil fuels and dust.
"The deposition of SPM on the shimmering white marble of the TajMahal imparts yellow tinge to the marble surface," the report by a Parliamentary committee said.
The committee based its findings on data from the Air Pollution Monitoring Laboratory in the city of Agra, set up to monitor the effects of air pollution on the iconic building.
Agra, home of the TajMahal, is about 130 miles southeast of India's capital, New Delhi.
The report said while levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide in the air were acceptable, high levels of particulate matter were a constant, except during the brief rainy season.
Currently, to cut back on pollution, cars and buses are not allowed to drive to the TajMahal but to a parking...

...﻿ I History of TajMahal
The TajMahal of Agra is one of the SevenWonders of the World, for reasonsmorethanjustlooking magnificent. It's the history of TajMahal that adds a soul to its magnificence: a soul that is filled with love, loss, remorse, and love again. Because if it was not for love, the world would have been robbed of a fine example upon which people base their relationships. An example of how deeply a man loved his wife, that even after she remained but a memory, he made sure that this memory would never fade away. This man was the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who was head-over-heels in love with Mumtaz Mahal, his dear wife. She was a Muslim Persian princess (her name Arjumand Banu Begum before marriage) and he was the son of the Mughal Emperor Jehangir and grandson of Akbar the Great. It was at the age of 14 that he met Mumtaz and fell in love with her. Five years later in the year 1612, they got married.
Mumtaz Mahal, an inseparable companion of Shah Jahan, died in 1631, while giving birth to their 14th child. It was in the memory of his beloved wife that Shah Jahan built a magnificent monument as a tribute to her, which we today know as the "Taj...

The surface area changes the decorations are refined proportionally. The decorative elements were created by applying paint, stucco, stone inlays, or carvings. Because of the Islamic prohibition of the décor or human form, the decorative elements can be grouped into calligraphy, abstract forms or vegetative motifs. The calligraphy that is found on the exterior of the TajMahal was created by a calligrapher named Abd ul-Haq, in 1609. Near the lines from the Qur'an at the base of the interior dome is the inscription, "Written by the insignificant being, Amanat Khan...
